What to expect

Get the full VIP treatments on this ultimate snorkelling cruise. Set sail in luxury to three epic snorkelling spots in Ras Mohammed National Park at Tiran Island. It’s home to over 200 coral species and 1,000 fish species – you’re in for a real treat – and a buffet lunch is also on the cards.Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup – and the option to rent some gear – towards the Marina. Jump aboard the luxurious boat and let the crew and captain take care of the rest. Drink up the views and catch some rays as you cruise along the Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba, heading towards Tiran Island. About 90 minutes later, you’ll anchor down at the first snorkel spot. Dive in and join the underwater party – exotic fish and dazzling coral reefs are the real showstoppers.Hop back on the boat for more sun-soaked fun, sailing to the next stellar snorkelling spot. Snorkelling is hungry work, so you’ll get to tuck into the fresh-cooked lunch with chicken, prawns, rice, pasta, and salad on the menu. After refuelling, unwind and enjoy some pleasant sailing before heading to the final snorkelling spot and gliding back towards the marina and Sharm El Sheikh.

Mohammed and Tarek were fabulous as were the boat crew and snorkel guides. 2nd and 3rd dives were incredible, the colour of the coral and fish everything you could wish for! The boat was really comfy with a huge sun deck and lunch was fabulous too! Thank you

Die Crew war super, alles sehr bemüht, auch um die Sicherheit der etwas schwächeren Teilnehmer. Ahmet, der Tour Guide, war sehr nett und hat ein vieles erklärt. Ich habe viele tolle Fische gesehen, die ich an dem kleinen Riff meines Hotels nicht sehe. Das Schiff war ausgesprochen schön und das Essen super Insgesamt ein sehr gelungener Ausflug!

The overall trip was not anything better than any other trip. The snorkelling was average and the "guides", did not guide or point out anything to see. It would have been better to have a briefing at each site, for how long we would be there and what we were likely to spot.

Mooie en prachtige schip . Op de bus mooi uitgelegd over veiligheid . Op de boot zelf...de eerste trip vond hij geen ankerplaats ( kan gebeuren ) Het snorkelen zelf ....je word opgejaagd om alles te zien en opgejaagd om terug op het schip te gaan

Although there was no grill as mentioned in the description, the food itself deserved the highest rating. Overall, everything else was fine and met expectations.

Apart from waiting at the hotel for 45 minutes as several people were told different pick up times which was not helpful. The trip was fantastic! The boat was beautiful with 3 decks, each stop on the reefs offered beautiful snorkeling experience. The lunch was excellent with a great selection for all. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Das Erlebnis ist extrem schön und kann ich nur empfehlen. Die Preise fürs Ausleihen sind höher als angegeben. Empfehlen kann ich das Erlebnis leider nur im Sommer, da die Anzüge die man auch ausleihen kann nicht für Kühlere Temperaturen ausgelegt sind. Das Personal gibt sich extrem viel Mühe und tut alles um das Erlebnis toll zu machen.

Price of onboard drinks that weren't included were extortionate. A coconut was $10 USD but we opted to buy it anyway. Then when we wanted to pay in Egyptian currency they demanded 500 Egyptian pounds which equates to $16 USD. After 10 mins of us refusing to pay they finally accepted 300 Egyptian pounds. Tainted the day somewhat! Also, developed a bad stomach after the trip which may or may not have been to do with the food on board- hard to say. Good snorkeling though!

I loved the excursion. But it wasn’t nice to be asked for proof that I worked for TUI and entitled to my staff discount while I was on the boat. This should have been checked and authorised much earlier. Not while I am trying to enjoy my trip. With no Wi-Fi at sea it was not easy to get online to be able to show my payslip. We should have a different form of id for things like this

Deze daguitstap vonden we geslaagd, maar dan vooral vanwege de beleving van het varen met de boot. Het snorkelen, de koralen en de vissen die we bij Tiran te zien kregen, waren eerder teleurstellend. De begeleiding is zeker ok, maar het snorkelen wordt op een drafje afgehandeld. Je kruist voortdurend andere grote groepen. We hebben zelf meer genoten van het zonnedek op de boot, het varen zelf, en het uitzicht op de omgeving. Het eten aan boord was verzorgd en lekker.

Mooie boottocht met 3 zeer mooie snorkelmomenten. Je ziet veel meer verschillende soorten vissen dan dat wij bij het afgezette snorkelgebied van het hotel (Rixos Sharm el Sheikh) konden zien.

Deze trip is echt een aanrader!! Goede bussen waarmee je word opgehaald afgezet bij een super mooie boot ??? (genoeg ruimte). Het personeel was aardig en het eten prima. De eerste twee riffen waren echt adembenemend net uit een film!! Laatste rit had van ons niet gehoeven ?? advies: zorg dat je kan zwemen en neem flippers mee (maakt de ervaring veel leuker en minder zwaar)!! Een T-shirt of en wetsuit voorkomt verbranden tijdens het zwemmen. Doe er je voordeel mee??

I Gad emailed ahead of time requesting a vegan lunch. Sadly not much I could have and they didn’t seem to understand the difference between vegan and vegetarian. Aside from being hungry it was a great trip

Snorkeling felt like a race to swim as quick as possible. Guides were lovely & polite & friendly but time in water was far too rushed such that fish could not truly be watched. Tiran island is the name of the excursion but it is not approached. Quality of food & boat was excellent. In late April we were 21 people on a boat for >60 so that aspect truly VIP.

We had paid for everything and were then humiliated in front of the other passengers by being told that "we hadn't paid for entry.. we had to pay again, and borrow money from other passengers this was not right, thankfully your tui rep at the hotel Osama was extremely helpful and refunded the money

Good communication from staff in advance to advise of pick up time and change of destination (due to COP27 security arrangements). Large boat with plenty of room so never felt crowded. Fantastic snorkelling with guides at 3 different points along the tour. Fabulous lunch included with plenty of refreshments available throughout. The on-board photographer took the time to arrange personalised photographs of the day with no pressure to buy. Overall a fantastic experience 10/10.

As keen snorkelers we were looking forward to seeing a variety of marine life, we weren’t disappointed. In our view the service from start to finish including the food was very good. We did feel that once in the water it appears to be a rush to see everything and then return to the boat, I accept that you have different interests and abilities in the water which makes it difficult for the guide. Never the less a good trip.

Great to see different reefs and the species that live there. We were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins and a Eagle ray which made the trip. The boat was plenty big and everyone had space to relax and enjoy the day. Food was amazing and the staff were friendly as a whole. Negatives for the day - transfer took 85 mins which seems a long time when the harbour is also in Sharm? Snorkeling guides constantly shouted commands at you - hurry up, slow down, get off, get on.

The boat trip to the snorkelling sites was amazing and the staff couldn’t have done more for us. We weren’t made aware prior to getting in the water of just how much swimming was involved - 40 mins in open water non stop at the first stop was far too much for someone who is not a competent swimmer. There should have been an option to stay nearer the boat for those who weren’t as confident or should have at least been told how far we would have to swim.

Het was zeer leuk en alles was in orde. Ik zou wel de trip anders in elkaar steken. De eerste spot om te snorkelen was de mooiste en beste. De andere twee waren gewoon…. Ik zou de mooiste spot als laatste stop houden. Verder was alles in orde hoor. Geen enkele klacht en een aanrader om de mooie onderwater wereld te verkennen.

The transport to the boat was a bit drawn out but mainly due to other clients not letting their reps know whether they were still going or not. There were two hotel stops with no pick ups. Once on the boat, the staff and guides explained the plan clearly, everyone was friendly and there was lots of room on board so covid safe. The snorkel stops were delightful and lunch was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing day.
